Hi thanks for the comment. Her vision is fine though, I thought the same thing but it's just the way i look with my hair down that bothers her. Her hearing is fine, her sense of smell is also ok. She's just a scared dog I guess. I went to the trainer today and he told me she's a nervous dog. She's not very confident, she's curious but not very confident. So we have to give her a lot of space to find her confidence. The problem is we don't have her history so we don't know if she's born this way or it was acquired. I've been watching her and she's actually aggressive when she needs to be so I dunno if that's instinct or she's slowly gaining confidence. I went to visit the vet also coz it was on the way, and she told me she's not as jumpy anymore so there is some improvement. She recovers quick but it takes forever to sort of change how she sees the world. She fears it.
It's on and off when it comes to my hair, she's ok then later she's not. And i'm afraid she's being submissive when she sees me with my hair down, which is not good. I don't want her to fear me or anything. I want her to be a confident and happy dog.
